This dialog is used when when you are importing P-CAD or Master Designer PCB designs using the PDIF ASCII format. It enables you to change the default name that you want the imported design to be called. You can also choose to use a technology file to base the design upon.
Design This is the name that will be used as the basis of the filename when you save the design.
Technology This drop down list can be used to choose a technology file to base the imported design on. You can select [None] to specify no technology.
If you have selected a technology you can use check Use Layer Mapping which will allow you to map the other EDA systems layers to the Pulsonix layers specified in the technology files. If this is checked then Layer Mapping will be activated before the import starts.
Sometimes when tracks are imported they do not always exactly start or end at an appropriate connect point. Check Auto Weld Tracks to try and force them to start or end on a connect point.
The PDIF format does not include drill hole data. The drill hole sizes are held in separate P-CAD/Master Designer files. If you have the appropriate drill file check Use P-CAD Drill File and you can select the file.
The drill file give no indication of the units to use, so you need to select from the drop lists which units to use.
If the drill file is not used an appropriate drill size will be calculated.
